Perennial Hower Seeds 
Perennials are used extensively in old fash- 
ioned gardens, hardy borders and rock gardens. 
They are easily grown and when once estab- 
lished become increasingly beautiful year after 
year. Care should be taken in selecting varieties 
according to their color, height and season of 
bloom. 
The seeds may be sown indoors or in hot beds 
early in the spring and transplanted to their 
permanent locations when three or four inches 
tall. Very satisfactory results can also be ob- 
tained by sowing the seeds early in August and 
shading from excessive heat by using lath or 
burlap screens. It is well to give young plants 
winter protection the first year.

which are most popular because of their beauty, 
usefulness and adaptability to local climatic 
- conditions:
